Good going Iran, let the Sunni-Shia wars spread from IRaq and Bahrain. Next, get the Shias in Saudia to arise...

To: Cronos; mojito; nuconvert

Cronos, back in London, on the tube & on my way to school (University), in the 80s, I used to listen to music, i.e. headphones (like today’s ipod — don’t laugh, we were the TREND-SETTERS for newbies now!). Back then, THE POLICE (Sting) was a very popular music band in the UK.

Although I am a Zoroastrian on my mother’s side & a Christian on father side, both by birth, I remember that the following was ONE of my favourite songs back then, and those initial words/lyrics stuck with me, going still:

THE POLICE:

“There is no political solution
To our troubled evolution
Have no faith in constitution
There is no bloody revolution

We are spirits in the material world

Our so-called leaders speak
With words they try to jail you
They subjugate the meek
But it’s the rhetoric of failure

We are spirits in the material world”

Another version (Not Original):

Well, it particularly sounded appropriate back then!
